Please try to add comments on all this, even if it's short. We need as
many feedbacks as possible until tomorrow on this mail and on pad

>
> So, here's a suggested plan:
>
> * we announce/explicit both news on our side on Monday early morning
> (CEST) as well, in a single blog post embedding all Mandriva-related news:
> - on one side, Mageia is not going to join Mandriva foundation project
> (and why, cold reasons as we gave him),
> - on the other side, Mandriva is going to use Mageia as tech platform
> for its business server line (link) and contribute back.
> - this double news should make it more obvious that things are not so
> simple as "Mageia is dumping Mandriva" or "Mandriva is rebasing on Mageia".
>
> * this news being published Monday morning, it leaves two full days to
> propagate, before we push the Mageia 2 release news (Tuesday evening) -
> interest about Mageia will have raised a bit in the previous days, and
> this release news will hide partially the previous news.
>
> ===================
>
> It's good news for Mageia as it makes Mageia ecosystem grow up. It will
> make things clearer for Mageia community now as many things were told
> about Mandriva future and community. Mageia keeps its own governance and
> organization which are now working quite well.
>
> So the next step is about communicating on these news. As said by Romain
> it has to be prepared and be ready very quickly as Mandriva announcement
> is planned for sunday evening. Mandriva CEO will send us the draft of
> its own announcement so that we can check we all agree on the content.
>
> So now we have to work on the Mageia blog post which will be published
> on monday morning:
> https://pad.riseup.net/p/mdv-foundation
>
> native english speakers needed for proofread :)
>
> Waiing for your comments
